Make a quick post here as a head count.

Me, Saffron.

Me too

Me, three. Ha!

Moi, aussi, as soon as I get my hands on the book, hopefully within a week or so, sorry I can't promise for it to be sooner. Money's a bit tight, as I'm sure everyone understands.

I am currently reading it. I'll be sailing in about 3 weeks so will be away from the internet quite a bit but I'll try to keep up. Very enjoyable, especially when you get into the second book and have come to know Sancho and Quixote better; kind of like how we got to know the Seinfeld characters better as the seasons progressed.

I do, but I will read Musicphilia first.

Is Don Quixote the guy with the big nose?

Dear Chris and other readers

I'm up to chapter seven in Don Quixote. I would like to lead the discussion on this book if you like.

It is racy and unputdownable. The Man of La Mancha is a valiant mad knight fighting for the lost imaginary world of heraldry and nobility, one hundred years after Columbus found America and just as Galileo worked out the solar system. Cervantes is a brilliant genius, satirising the remnants of medieval thinking in the new modern world.

Robert, you'd be great as a discussion leader. I'll add your name right now.
